              <p>PICTURE THEATRE FOR SUNSHINE
              There is a prospect of a picture theatre being built in Sunshine in the near future, and a company has already been registered with that object in view. The site of the proposed picture theatre is opposite the Shire Hall in Hampshire road, and it
              is ‘proposed .to acquire a large building and a block of land in the locality. Sunshine is regarded as an ideal spot for the establishment of
              such an enterprise - Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript">
